Vincent Poon :: Bethlehem (2-Sep)
 
Needless to say Bethlehem is the birthplace for Christ and it is definitely a must for Catholics like me though it is situated in the West Bank. In fact this was the only city I visited (alone) in the West Bank! To be honest, I felt more unsafe in Jerusalem when I saw kids playing with electric stun guns (near the bus station) than any time in this town

St George slaying the dragon, this is found almost in every Orthodox Church
Sign above the Church of Nativity. I wonder how it looks when it is lit up
My next stop is Milk Grotto Church found at Milk Grotto Street.
